Richard III Trip, Part XV, 'Circular Walk from Bosworth Battlefield to Market Bosworth, Sutton Chene
The start of a hot and sunny walk---a circular walk from the Bosworth Heritage Centre across fields and aong a gated track visiting Market Bosworth and Park and then back along a gated lane to Sutton Cheny church of St james where the King's Army prayed before settling on the encampment on Ambion Hill---the last section wil be th gentle walk from the church to the battlefield--a series of videos will illustrate the different stages of this super walk--video with photos as well----My imagination takes me back to Medieval England and the battle scenes--the horrors of such brutal and gory battles. But as I walk I am also in the 21st centru and the sky is blue the sun warm and the landscape calm as I stroll thru the high vegetation.
Richard III Trip, Part I & XXIV,'Ambion Hill & Battle of Bosworth 1485' by Sheila, May 2017
This video is at the beginning and the end of 24 videos created during my visit to Bosworth Battlefield and Leicester Cathedral and City---The initial video failed to record so another was created at the end of my visit of Ambion Hill where I capture images of the sundial , flags and windows of the fields where the battle took place in 1485. Over several days I visited and walked many places connected with Richard III in this area---absorbing the beauty of the countryside, the history of the city of Leicester and imaging the events and happenings 500 years ago---I have been inspired for many years --starting from history lessons at school and English Literature studies including William Shakespeare---brutal times depicted in the plays and poems---'England In the Time of Richard III' Futurelearn course---the catalyst for the visit at last.
Riding through History - Bosworth Battlefield Tour
After 37 years I've come back to the Bike and bought myself a BMW R1200RT. I'm visiting places of historical interest and sharing what I've seen and done. My second film deals with the Battle of Bosworth 22nd August 1485.
Come with me as I take you on the pillion to the actual site of the action that day: the battlefield, Richard's Camp and the church where he spent the night before battle, his last on earth.
It was a tranquil December day when I rode out, dressed in crash helmet and leathers, but feeling very much like a man riding to battle on my 'steed', the R1200RT.
I'm not a qualified historian, but I have visited this location many times and attempt to give you a sense of the time, the place and this much-maligned man. I trust it will encourage you to take a deeper interest in the history of our wonderful country, and those who trod its land before us.
Richard III, Part 1a, ' The Bosworth Heritage Centre' by Sheila, May 16th 2017
The visit to Bosworth was very exciting and well worth the journey from Somerset--I stayed for several nights at Market Bosworth within walking distance of the Battlefield---A return visit is a must to see many areas not covered on this first visit----A 'gold mine' of information all around as I absorbed the Battlefield with my imagination in full participation---I was spellbound and overwhelmed with 500 years of history that very much shaped our present society---I also visited Leicester during my stay and the resting place of King Richard III at the cathedral------more videos to follow.

Details of Richard III’s final journey have been released
The route for the cortege which will transport the mortal remains of King Richard III from the University of Leicester, via Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre to Leicester Cathedral next March, has been announced.
The remains of the King have been held securely at the University of Leicester, following their discovery under a car park in Leicester in August 2012.
On Sunday 22nd March 2015, a hearse will leave the University of Leicester during the late morning and travel to Fenn Lane Farm, reputedly the site of King Richard’s death, before moving on to nearby village parish churches of Dadlington and Sutton Cheney.
The cortege will visit Dadlington as some of the battle-dead are buried in the churchyard of St James’ the Greater. Sutton Cheney has been chosen because it is believed that King Richard took his final Mass at St James’ church on the eve of the battle.
The Bishop of Leicester, the Rt Revd Tim Stevens, will then lead a short ceremony at the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre in the early afternoon. The cortege will then go on to Market Bosworth, Newbold Verdon and Desford as it makes its way back to Leicester.

Richard III Trip, Part XXI, ' Inside St James Church Sutton Cheney' by Sheila, May 18th 2017
A beautiful church in the Leicestershire country side where Richard III and his men prayed before battle as was the custom---500 years have passed but really that is not long ago ---its always a weird feeling walking in the footsteps of those that have long passed--those that were to be slaughtered at the Battle of Bosworth now a peaceful landscape.
